Show 141 CITY SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH Milton Weilenmann Cites Need for Airport Authority L. Milton L. Weilenmann, executive director of thfe State Development Services Department, this week proposed establishment of a Salt Lake Airport Authority to provide continuity in planning and developing a modern airport in the jet age. Nothing is more important to industrial development of this area than to have good air freight connections with markets of the West, he said. Mr. Weilenmann envisioned Salt Lake Airport as potentially an inland seaport in the sky which would relieve congestion at coastal airports. He said airports today occupy the same importance that railroad depots did earlier in the century. The Salt Lake Airport now finds itself with only two major airline services, Western Air Lines and United Air Lines, which were established in the late 20s and early 30, he said. As a result air travelers find it cheaper today to buy a UAL ticket to Denver and then buy a commuter ticket to Chicago over competitive lines than it is to buy a through ticket over UAL to Chicago, he said. Service to Seattle from Salt Lake City frequently is only by prop planes since there is no competition, Mr. Weilenmann remarked. He praised the work of Joe Milton L. Weilenmann Bergin, who has been an out standing airport manager, but who now is nearing retirement age. He also commended the City Commission for appointing an airport advisory committee, but said that he did not think this is sufficient. Although Salt Lake City does have a Federal Aviation Agency approved master plan for developing the Salt Lake Airport, federal officials want to make changes in this plan, he said. Some federal funds for improving Salt Lake Airport No. 2 have been lost, he reported.

Mr. Mitsunaga said that most defendants in criminal court are in need of legal counsel and few can afford a lawyer. He said that Judge Jones best efforts to protect the rights of individuals is not enough and that he needs help from the bar. Mr. Mitsunaga said that often Judge Jones must actually talk individuals out of pleading guilty and that having legal service available to these people will expedite the process of justice and make them feel that society is treating them more fairly.
